Looks like a poured lead quail thingy.....
Just playing. Is the bottom broken? looks a little uneven, like it came off of something taller.

No it's a Cast leaden Quail Whats-a-ma-bob. Sorry, couldn't resist. It actually looks lie some kind of Bank. Looks like the back of the design is sheared off. Hard to say. In Maryland, while antiquing, my wife and I would run into many types of cast banks and yard art of birds and other wild animals. What are the dimensions? It looks too small and heavy to be a type of wind vane.

Is that a mouthpiece? Is it hollow? Can you blow through it? A birdcall? Guessing here...

This is nuggethill's daughter little gem, I think that is a bird whistle, I had one that was porcelain and you put water in it to make the bird sound.
